Manchester United ‘planning’ moves for Chelsea duo Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic
Manchester United are ‘planning’ moves for Chelsea duo Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic in the upcoming transfer window, according to GiveMeSport (h/t Manchester Evening News).
The Red Devils are looking to bolster the forward line and the engine room next summer. To that end, Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane is the club’s primary target as the Old Trafford side eye a prolific striker.
In the middle of the park, United have a few names on their list. However, if they are unable to pursue them, the Red Devils will turn their attention to Mount.
The 24-year-old’s current contract with the Stamford Bridge side will expire in the summer of 2024. However, the midfielder’s future is uncertain at the moment. The England international is yet to put pen to paper on a new deal.
Apart from the Old Trafford side, Premier League rivals Liverpool have also been linked with the playmaker. It remains to be seen where his future lies.
As for Pulisic, his name has been associated with United for some time now. Erik ten Hag is considering the 24-year-old as a possible alternative in the attacking areas.
The Red Devils’ pursuit of the American will depend on the possible outgoings at the end of the season. He is also set to become a free agent in the summer of 2024 as things stand.
Ten Hag has been afforded a number of quality signings in the middle of the park and in the forward line over the last two transfer windows. The likes of Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Antony have added quality to our squad.
